Recorded live at Docusign Momentum in London, this episode continues my conversations from the show floor by looking at one of the most overlooked challenges facing modern organisations. Companies have spent years investing in CRM platforms, ERP systems, HR software and cloud infrastructure, yet many of the agreements linking those systems together still rely on manual processes, email chains and static documents. Joining me is Stéphane Barberet, President of EMEA at Docusign. Having spent more than three decades helping organisations across Europe use technology to improve the way they work, Stéphane shares why he believes agreements have become one of the biggest blind spots in enterprise transformation and how AI is beginning to change that. We discuss why organisations are starting to view agreements as business intelligence rather than administrative paperwork, where businesses unknowingly lose value after contracts have been signed, and why removing friction from everyday workflows often delivers greater returns than simply introducing another AI tool.
